Tasting notes
Light yellow. Lemon oil and zest aromas are complemented by a floral topnote (pink carnation?). At once dense, thick and electric, with strong acidity and mineral spine giving a bracing quality to the middle palate. The salty, brisk, rising finish really stains the palate. This is even more backward than the Chevalières and will need--and reward--patience.

Fine and minerally with enough fruit to distract from the structure. Just manages not to be too austere... (JR)
(still a bit of malic acidity remaining): Lemon, lime and a hint of leesy compexity on the nose. Rich and fine-grained, showing outstanding clarity and lift to its citrus and fresh herb flavors. Almost austere on the back end but remains suave and edge-free. Neither too acid nor too buttery, this has all the elements to make a terrific bottle. Fichet describes Tesson as "the display window of Meursault."
